064.Triple Strike (4)
The men and horses of the Orthocrusade Corps, although they kept killing the enemy, there were too many Milanese.
An earl knight, slashing off the enemy's head with his sword, blood splattering and staining his eyes, he quickly erased them.
It reminded him of the last time he fought against the giants.
The last time he managed to survive, this time he will do the same.
He struggled to find the main force of the Milanese army, shouting loudly for the Crusaders to protect him.
Fighting in the dark of night, many people don't know where the enemy is coming from, and even if they just killed one person, they were injured by a dark arrow in the next second.
"Victory! Victory!"
In the confusion, the defenders were organized, armed aloft, and fought back against the Milanese.
A large number of arrows in the fortress shot these Milanese into hedgehogs, and they were even forced to retreat.
"We're going to win, we're going to win!"
The defenders of the castle and the defenders of the local fortress were now flanking the Milanese in front and back.
In the darkness of the night, dozens of spears glowed, and the people of Milan knew that they were spears made of Sicilian stone.
It was these guns that made the Milanese suffer so much that even the hard armor on their bodies could not stop them.
It will take a while for the sky to brighten.
But after fierce killing, the movements of the two parties in the dark night were seen more clearly.
Bran watched from afar, saw the Milanese army being repulsed, and asked, "Who is guarding that fortress?"
"The deputy commander of the Orthocrusade, Dukai, is known as the Knight of Adversity." Heard Road.
Adversity means that the person never gives up.
The last time the giants attacked, he was also deeply surrounded, and he led a team of 100 people, and only he survived.
"Such a man is either a warrior or a coward, and it is obvious that he is the former," Bran slowed, "before dawn, take this place, and let the warrior die a glorious death." ”
"Yes."
The Musketeers had entered the battlefield, and at this time Dukai, known as the Knights of Adversity.
Mounted his horse, took all the riders in the band, and rushed to the Milanese.
Their goal is to capture siege weapons, otherwise these things will be bombarded incessantly, which will be a big blow to morale.
Suddenly, the dazzling light bloomed instantly, and sparks flew on the ground, and then flew out at lightning speed.
The point of light was accompanied by an explosion.
I saw the Milan Musketeers, divided into three rows.
These muskets, after firing a shot, had to be reloaded, and when reloaded, the interval between attacks was very serious in a battlefield where seconds were at stake.
Each gun can fire three shots, and it has to be cooled down.
These guns are all already loaded and can fire three waves at the same time.
The first wave of fire from the Milanese in front of them blew all the galloping Crusader horses into silly and shattered them.
Bang-----!
After the first wave, the front team crouches down to reload, then the second team, the third team, after an interval of a few seconds, continues to be issued.
The soldiers of the Teutonic Corps and the White Dragonguard, holding up to the left and right, formed a semi-open wall to prevent the musketeers from being charged by the enemy.
After the first three rounds of bombardment.
The formations of the soldiers of these counter-attacks were all disrupted.
The wails rang out, and all they saw was a black pipe like a snake, spitting out a ghostly fire, and in the time it took to swallow a mouthful of saliva, the iron pill pierced through the brain.
Stray bullets spread all around to avoid danger, and Bran's home team protected him to the death, acting as a human shield.
The musketeers had a flowing operation, the first three rounds of attacks were completed, and after the fourth round of reloading, the guns were continued.
After this fight, the gun was passed backwards, allowing the iron pellets to be loaded with gunpowder, and finally the team sent these items forward to help reload and aim.
And they took the muskets from behind.
Therefore, the top shooters are the group with the best physique and eyesight.
The thick neck of the defender soldier burst the moment it was hit by the iron pellet.
There was even a person who was hit in the nose and then his whole face was sunken.
The power made the defenders look stupid, and the horses that had been shot ran wildly with wails.
Black magic? Sorcerer?
At this time, no matter which Adversity Knight is there, he knows that he can't fight anymore.
They didn't even want a fortress and retreated to the rear castle.
The tall castle is the most reassuring haven.
After nine rounds of attack, the number of people who were really effective in killing and wounding did not exceed 200.
However, the fact that this weapon kills and injures the enemy without touching it makes the defenders, who have already restored order and morale, completely lose the will to fight.
However, these weapons could not capture the fortress, and they still needed manpower to attack the city.
Six catapults were pushed and pulled by hundreds of people, ropes were turned, and iron and stone were put in.
The stone hand shouted, his whole body stiffened, pulling the rope to a tight grip, and then relaxed.
While the whole body shook, the iron and stone slammed high.
The slingers aimed at the fortress, and when the stone attack fell, the Milanese had a strong advantage in battle.
In the darkness of the night, Bran saw a giant and quickly led his men to attack the fortress.
The telescope was lowered, and he could see the figure vaguely.
"Hilde, your men are quite brave." Brandau.
Simon on the side also said, "The fishman Tuobenban, who is worthy of the Seven Generals Star, Your Highness, and the knights under Hilde, are all heroes, and if you gather seven in the future, it will be really unimaginable." ”
This is a taboo, only the king's subordinates need heroes, you are a vassal, and you make the name of the Lord of the Seven Generals Star, what do you want to do?
"Your Highness, this is just me once drunk, I said that I want to find seven knights, corresponding to the seven knights of the seven senses, somehow, it became this kind of nickname, all this is a joke, my subordinates are all warriors loyal to Milan, Your Highness wants them to charge, you have to charge, of course, I am too." Heard responded immediately.
"Your first general named Tuqimu is now getting along well with Kidd's pirates, from Merlin to Provence, in the surrounding seas, we Milanese are extremely safe, it's all your ability."
"It's all due to His Highness's prestige, and when they do things for me, they do things for His Highness."
Bran complimented him, and Hilde hurriedly shouted that he didn't dare.
He was the son of a farmer who had been promoted by Bran, and led Bran to House, tidy up the room, and even knelt down and used it as a stepping mat to get Bran on the horse.
Hield doesn't have such a low posture against Howard, but with Bran, for the most part, he is cautious and restrained.
"I heard that you're a fish-man with fish-like scales?"
"Yes, I don't know what the strange disease is, but this disease is not contagious, Your Highness can rest assured. These scales on the skin make his skin rough, very resistant, and he doesn't feel pain, and once he goes into battle, he always rushes to the forefront. Recently I let him learn to ride a horse, and he will soon be able to turn into a rider and play for His Highness. ”
"The name of the Seven Generals' Star is good, when you gather seven people, how about I help you canonize them? Count Merlin. ”
This sentence has another meaning, Hilde was made the vice-earl.
Bran had never called him an earl, and he didn't need to lift Hilde up like his men.
He said that he wanted to expand Hilde's territory, and both Hilde and Simon heard the overtones.
Beneath Simon's eyes, there is a fire of jealousy......
The fish-men lead the soldiers and re-enter the fortress.
The tall man shouted to his subordinates to light the torches, and he held high the white dragon flag, and the audience was watching.
The fortress has been completely lost.
The soldier shouted hooray, but this time the shouting was Bran's name.
Otherwise, if you don't rush forward, who knows if there are any soldiers who fake their deaths and will suddenly appear when they pass by.
Bai Longwei's firing squad began to move.
All the soldiers who could not move on the ground had to be replenished with another sword.
Bran stopped where he was, and he wasn't idle.
He came here in a heavily armed carriage.
He then went back to the car and wrote the transfer order, telling the scouts to send it to the other troops immediately.
The car is warm, and there are all kinds of drinks in the mezzanine of the car to keep out the cold.
Bran took two sips and exhaled the cold.
In the last Milan competition, his injuries in the battle of Tongxia were not all healed, and he was even more injured by the big bear, and now as soon as he enters the night, he has chills all over his body and often coughs.
When he left the carriage again, it was about to dawn.
His troops also rushed to set up new fortifications and pushed the line forward.
"Your Highness, according to your orders, do not attack the city in front, but only surround it, and after dawn, send someone to persuade you to surrender."
"Is that one named Du or something, dead?"
"Escaped."
"Send all the food down, manage enough, let the back transport team continue to transport supplies over, now it is almost the winter wheat harvest, we surround the periphery, if they don't come down, we will also send people out to harvest, if not, we will help them harvest all this wheat."
Then the soldiers lit a fire and ate.
The fort was full of flesh, and Bran didn't like it, so the dining place was fenced off outdoors, and he ate like a soldier (a kind of performance, which had already been eaten in a carriage).
The high nobles and the meritorious knights were all called over to accompany the meal.
Both of Hild's generals were there, and Bran poured them a glass of wine.
The monarch appreciates wine, which is a gift, and when the fishman receives the wine, he is too excited to spill the wine.
So Bran gave him another cup and said.
"Why don't you take off your armor, take it easy, the enemy will soon surrender."
After Bran finished speaking, the fishman didn't move, and Hilde spoke up, "Your Highness, he looks ugly, I'm afraid it will affect His Highness's appetite." ”
"It's all the warriors of Milan, take it off, let these nobles get to know each other."
The fish-man then took off his armor and looked young and normal.
But as soon as the armor in the middle is taken off, it is very strange and even gives people goosebumps.
From the neck down, he had large swaths of skin with black lines.
This is probably a special physical ailment similar to that of albinism in later generations.
"Why do you call you a fishman?" Brandau.
"As soon as my skin enters the water, it becomes rough and hard because of these lines, and in the water, I swim as fast as a fish, so they call me a fish man."
"You are the first fort of the White Dragon Banner, and I will reward you with a dragon pattern musket."
The fishman respectfully took it, and then Brando, "Tobenban, have you taken a wife?"
"No, I'm so ugly, they don't even look down on me."
"After this battle, I will find a court physician to help you diagnose and treat your skin, and then help you point out a noble girl, and you will come to the palace to be my guard knight."
Hilde almost shouted, this person was obtained by himself from South Francia, and Bran was going to take it away so easily?!
"Your Highness, thank you for your promotion, but I was saved by Your Excellency (Hilde), and I hope to continue to serve him."
The scene was awkward, but Bran was not strong.
"Hilde, it's good that your men are very loyal to you."
Heard lowered his head and did not answer.
He should have handed over the fish-man, but this time he didn't give up, and Bran didn't wait for his follow-up reaction, and he knew it in his heart and didn't say anything more.
Bran waved his hand to let the fish-man go down, and then expressed his condolences to the injured officers and nobles in front of him.
"After going to Luo, the peninsula is all for us Milanese, and the Holy See is also supported by us Milanese. You will participate in this war, just like the Second Crusade, and you will become glorious crusaders, and you will go to heaven after death, and you will receive countless riches and applause during your lifetime. ”
